Weekly Idol Recap - Weeks of January 29th - February 6th

Sorry for the delay on this weeks idol news. I have been busy with work and such.

Urggh.

Anyways, here are a few stories and music videos. Plus latest single/album releases that you might enjoy.

Also, I found out some heart-breaking news for myself involving one of my oshi.

Included in this as well, will be some of my recent listens to underrated groups.

Enjoy!


News

 Notall

According to Tokyo Girl's Update, the idol group notall had a very successful journey to Thailand to perform at the Japan Expo held in Bangkok.

They got postponed last year due to the Bangkok bombings in August 2015 but they really showed out this time.

Congratulations to them on that success.

More success is in store for the girls when they will be releasing their new single titled Thanks A Million on March 8th, 2016. So be on the lookout when that comes out.

Nogizaka46

 It was announced that there will be a 17 person senbatsu for their upcoming single.

17 members is quite a lot in my opinion.

The center will be Fukagawa Mai. I wrote about her in the first Weekly Recap and it will be her final single with the group.

I am happy for her and wish her the best.

I am still upset that my oshi has yet to senbatsu since their fourth single.

Sigh.

Negicco

 I rarely talk about this group. I actual haven't what so ever on here but there is a first time for everything.

Negicco will be releasing a new single on March 29th, titled Mujun Hajimemashita. 

I am especially excited about this because I have been a fan of them for a while. I started listening to them about a year ago and never really said anything.

The group also will be on tour starting on February 14th in Niigata and ending on April 27th at the Nakano Sun Plaza in Tokyo.

They will be performing with the NEGiBAND, which I am also happy for.

Sunmyu

 Apparently I have not caught up on that group in a while and just yesterday I found out my oshi, Yamauchi Haruka, had graduated back in December.

I was not too pleased but I blew it off like you blew off the dust on a N64 cartridge.

Sorry, I'm a 90s kid.

WOW!


Music Videos

 So I discussed last week that Juice=Juice released a new music video and I reviewed.

Well in that time, they released the b-track video titled Next Is You.

I have no words to describe this song or video. Well I do have words for it but they may be not what you want to hear.

Now admittedly, the girls look great and have great vocals but the song itself, is kind of meh. 

It might grow on me but for now that is my opinion.


Another music video was released lately that includes one of my top favorite artists, I Ris.

This music video is from their 11th (No Joke) single titled Goin' On. It is the opening theme for the fourth season of their anime show PriPara. 


I have got to say even with the colorful outfits on, they look very pretty. With this video, they are in street clothes and they are even prettier.

The song is very nice as well. 

I will most definitely be checking out their new single which releases on February 17th.

I watched this music video and it gave me the chills and goosebumps hardcore. 

I love listening to this group!

The group also will be on tour in Japan from April 24th - May 21st in the following cities and the venues will all be Zepp (insert city): Fukuoka, Sapporo, Namba, Nagoya, and Tokyo. 

I wish I could see them live but I do not think I could get tickets whatsoever.

I know that this weeks news is not so spectacular but just you wait for what I have in store. 

I will be creating new articles on some of the groups I have mentioned above and updating others like I did to the Aoyama Saint Hachamecha High School Article. 

I know for sure there will be more articles. 

Now that I have a couple days off, I can spend all my time and energy on writing for y'all.

If you have made it down this far, I hope you liked or didn't like the news but that is your opinion.

Feel free to share any articles or share my page in general. 

Also, you can follow me on Twitter if you'd like or comment on this page. I honestly don't mind.

Oh and another thing, I had to push my trip back a couple days so I will be in Japan from April 26th, 2016 - May 16th, 2016.

And as always, Have A Wonderful Day No Matter Where You Are!!!

Behind the Keyboard - Welcome To The New Age Profile

I'm sorry I haven't posted lately, as in about three weeks and I'll explain why, later in the post. This post will not be about any idol groups this time as I am starting to overwhelm myself with too many at once. This is a kind of Behind The Music thing as I will discuss who I am and what made me start a idol blog. Also, I will share some of my opinions regarding the idol world and show you what I've been watching and who I've been liking. It is kind of a ramble, just warning. Who Are You?

The Cute Rock Idols With Calming Voices - HAKUAKI - Now DIsbanded!! - New Age Idols Spotlight

Image
Image Courtesy: Official Twitter The past few months I have written about some of my favorite groups. I had known of those groups for quite some time. This month will be a little different. I want to introduce a group that, just only a few months ago, came onto the music scene.  Since their debut, they have been on constant rotation in my playlists.   This dance and vocal group shouldn't be missed! Shall we go on a journey and explore more about HAKUAKI?  Group Information HAKUAKI made their debut on March 11, 2021 with a one-man live operation at Hatsudai DOORS.  The meaning of the name HAKUAKI confused me a little bit when I was doing research.  To be honest, I thought it meant something else in Japanese. I did some translation skills and it brought up the Kanji for Cretaceous. It was period around the dinosaur times. That didn't make any sense for the name to be that. After perusing the group's Twitter, the meaning is actually Hack A Kingdom. It makes more sense when you

What Is Your Favorite Flavor? - MilkShake (ミルクセーキ) Nagasaki - Idol Spotlight!

Image
Do you like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, cookies & cream shakes? If not, what is wrong with you? I'm just playing. So, with that introduction let me introduce you to one of the most underrated idol groups that I have been fond of recently. The groups name is MilkShake Nagasaki and as in the name of the group, they are named after the ice cream dessert. But in Nagasaki, unlike here in the states, is not in a drink form. It is in more of a sorbet format. According to online sources, it has a vanilla and citrus flavor to it, which sounds incredible. Truth be told, before writing this, I actually went out and purchased one to eat while writing. Group / Member Information Group Debut : July 2013 The group originally had six members. The lineup featured Miyu Nishiyama, Runa Itoh, Mai Murakami, Maria Nakagawa, Yuuna Kawai, and Kei Yokozawa. In May 2014, Miyu Nishiyama graduated from the group. After Miyus' graduatation, MilkShake Nagasaki added fiv
